Thread: Something Like This More Than Likely
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Fair points. The bottom 6 is pretty expensive, so I wonder if they try to find some $$ by cutting costs there when the top guys need new deals. I could see a 2 x $3m deal for Bernier or something and maybe you’re able to shave off $500k off of Hart’s salary. $5m for a goaltending tandem is pretty darn cheap compared to a lot of other teams. 1 year of Holtby could be interesting too.</div></div>

They most certainly have to do something. The Flyers are in the state of they have the talent to compete, but they are also one bad year away from a potential rebuild because of the flat out inconsistencies in this core/team. I have no clue what they are going to do this offseason which is exciting. However, I am totally prepared to be let down. haha

Thread: No clue what this team will do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>I think if Seattle wants a good veteran to produce they'll gladly take voracek.

I think youre right on the re-signings, all of the youth (except farabee) regressed this year. To me the team needs speed and a solid physical RD who can play 20 minutes a night. While youngsters like frost, allison and york can improve team spee, a physical bottom 6 UFA guy like a foligno or calvert would help, and the team gets a dumba, savard, risto or murphy to solidify defense.

Ghost and JVR both upped their values this year, and while they're both overpiad. not by much and both have just 2 yrs left now. I could see both of them going.

Ultimately the team probably brings up 3 rookies next year (frost, allison, york? Or maybe zamula, ratcliffe, foerster) to up the team speed, they trade or go UFA for a RD (Savard, Risto, Weber, Dumba) and then get some needed grit on 4th line forward.

But I can;t see them going crazy, the team on paper is a real contender, but hart, sanheim, myers, patrick, lindblom, provorov and NAK all regressed from last year. The key is to see if they can fix those guys. Voracek, Giroux, Coots, Hayes all still are doing well, but when every youngster on your team plays poorly and loses confidence, the result is: this year.</div></div>

I realistically see our lines looking like

G-Coots-Farabee
JVR-Hayes-Frost
Lindblom-Patrick-Voracek
Allison-Laughton-NAK (FA Signing)

Provy-(FA Signing/Trade)
Sanheim-Myers
York/Zemula/Hagg-Braun

Hart - (FA or Elliot)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>that CGY deal is full of suck for the flyers, TK is equal to Gaudreau when you consider production, age, salary, contract, but Ghost, blue chip prospect and a 1st for Lucic is the kind of proposal thats almost laughable.
Also, who are you protecting from Seattle to have to throw in a bunch of stuff with Voracek? Is Voracek overpaid, yes but not by a lot, but he leads the team in pts, has no injury history and is a safe bet to continue his 60+ pts a year through his contract, he's no brent burns or shea weber. Are you protecting JVR?

Hate the teams peformance, but the amount of youth you're throwing out the door is way too much: TK, Zamula, a 1st, Patrick, Rubtsov, Frost, NAK ,a 2nd, and yet your defense is adding Dumba (good), and Larsson (sucks)? And yoiure adding rather old retreads in Bellmare and Martinook? Thats like 5 RECENT 1sts rounders youre showing the door. Not saying you dont make some of these moves, but in no way do martinook/bellemare/elliot/larsson make this team much better.

Theres only sanheim, hart and patrick to resign this year and collectively thats less than 8 mil. They move one of JVR or Ghost and thats plenty of space to add upgrades at RD, 4th line and goalie</div></div>

I got carried away and just kept making deals. haha. I honestly do not think they do a lot. This team more than likely loses (NAK, Voracek, Ghost, or JVR to Seattle) Resigns Sanny, Patrick, and Hart) Fills out 4th line with some PK guys and depth pieces. Likely adds a veteran defenseman and goaltender.
